Re: Sierra Apathia

Wha? I didn't request the speedy deletion. Please do not delete both of them, and i'd like to know how it got categorized into speedy deletion. Sierra Apathia 05:20, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I think it may have had a template on it or picture on it that was speedily deleted or was categorized as that when we were mass-deleting stuff before, and it would've caused the page to fall under that category as well. --Garimidia 06:09, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Be chill and just remove the categories, SA. Shik arta^{1240//01.06.10UTC}

Re: JPG

I really don't know. It's my first time on wiki in years and the first time I really had to contend with copyrights.--Satirius 02:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Ohai I rip stuff off of Shik

I don't see why I can't use it. Oh, and actually I didn't rip it off of you (Shikarta), I took the concept off of another user who did the same thing when I was browsing some pages (I do believe it was a vehicle page, but I forgot the user :P). Anyways, I don't see if you two have it why I can't. Asbest 23:58, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, you kind of did. However, I don't really see the problem in doing this—I kitbashed Paci's NSwiki userpage and Misza13's Wikipedia userpage to come up with User:Octane. And I stole Aeq's bulleted list thing. Even the black box thing is from some Wikipedia user; it originally said "RETIRED". Blas t 04.06.10 0058 (UTC)

And that "Leave a new message thing" at the top of your page, Hryv? Yeah, you stole that from me—and I stole it from someone else. Blas t 04.06.10 0059 (UTC)

It's a simple user-talk template with set parameters, so it's not quite the same at all. Nevertheless several users have taken the code from my user-page (including User:Oseato and User:Zinaire, amongst others) and I really don't mind in the slightest (nor do I claim any right to), reason being they've altered it to suit themselves. I'd rather encourage this than just copying and pasting my entire userpage (code, style, the lot) only to change the names, which is rather uncourteous. Shik arta^{0146//04.06.10UTC}

Well do you want me to write your name as credit or something? Asbest 03:08, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

As I've said, I'd rather you used the code to make something more original rather than just rip the entire style, which I had created to personalise my own user-page. See the example user-pages I've linked to above, for instance.Shik arta^{2247//06.06.10UTC}

Then you better get a-huntin' for the other people who use it. I've changed mine anyways. Asbest 23:28, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry if that sounded rude, I was on edge. Asbest 17:31, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Flag of Nefteyuganskian

Is it possible to change the name of the uploaded image file of the Flag of Nefteyuganskian (http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/wiki/File:Flag_of_Nefteyuganskian.png) to Flag of Nefteyugansk? Asbest 00:41, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I tried, but it doesn't work for files (at least not for me). Asbest 15:26, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

One more. May you change Flag of the Trade Consortium of Eastern Star Systems (http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Trade_Consortium_of_Eastern_Star_Systems.png) to the Insignia of the Trade Consortium? Asbest 04:02, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Country data templates

They're templates for a Balkanised region in Otcina; specifically the small kaleidoscope of countries in the map. I'm adding the templates to the calling codes and sovereign states lists at the moment, and should be making rough outline pages aaaargh when I finish all the other stuff I have to do =_=. --USFTiburon 13:32, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Media Uploads

Tarsas 16:44, 14 June 2010 (UTC)Tarsas

What instance of using other people's work do you speak of? I try to get all my pictures from wikipedia and use the license that was shown.

First off it was me who tagged your pictures and second of the media templates you selected say "I the copyright holder" even though you don't hold the copyright. It seems to me you're just going through and randomly selecting media templates without paying attention. — Ose ato 17:34, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually, if I am doing that, it would be more based off of a misunderstanding of the system. I was informed, and have thus began using the images I want from wikipedia and matching the copyright deals. Older images may be tagged incorrectly because at that time, I was under another impression about that copy right template. Tarsas 00:02, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Template:Country data

I'm having trouble using { {flag|Mussleburgh} }, even though it's a country article with a flag. I'm probably doing this all wrong, but... South Thasland 15:57, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Some Improvements

I fixed a couple templates (Template:Infobox Country and Template:Infobox political party) by redirecting some of the links to the proper pages. So basically all of the links on the country infobox is working and are up to date. Asbest 16:57, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about the signatures. I always forget, but been doing better. Concerning the template, I thought I was doing it specifically for myself then I noticed I wasn't and really fucked it up. So I managed to put it back the way it was and even improve it so that the links were correct. I also took some tutorials on wikicode and have a reasonable amount of knowledge now. Asbest 17:48, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion

Perhaps you could create a page for a list of countries by their Gini coefficient. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asbest (talk • contribs)

Template request

Hi there, could you please import Template:Infobox Hurricane. Cheers. --Garimidia 00:47, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
